Sarah Darlington Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I'm trying to make a curved path using Duplicate Array along path but when I use a curve, the curve lenght box just says Dump String and it won't work. It's fine on straight lines. Also, can anyone recommend some VWorks online tutorials. Sarah Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Are you using Duplicate Array or Duplicate Along Path? As for tutorials, Archoncad is great, Jonathan's videos are a great jump off point, just search vectorworks or landmark in youtube. Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Also if you could post you drawing we could see what you are trying to do. Quote Link to comment
Sarah Darlington Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi, Thank you. It's a duplicate array along path -- basically a simple stepping stone path. I'll email you the drawing. Thanks for the recommendation for tutorials. I'll have a look. Sarah Quote Link to comment
Sarah Darlington Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 How do I email you a drawing? I'm new to forums and I'm not sure about the protocol. Sarah Quote Link to comment

Sarah Darlington Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Okay. I've solved it by moving everything to a new file. But why did I get that message in the first place? Quote Link to comment

Bryan G. Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Sarah, Another tool that you could use (depending on the design) is the Repetitive Unit Tool. Try it out see if this helps. Quote Link to comment
Sarah Darlington Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 I haven't come across that one -- I'll have a look. Thank you. Sarah Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted October 3, 2010 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hi Sarah I've not come across the dump string bit before. Sounds like something has gone wrong. I am happy to have a look at the file for you if you like. Don't forget you are welcome to come to us with questions. If you are copying along a curved path, the Duplicate Along Path is what you need. Duplicate Array will work around a circle, along a straight line, or will create a rectangular grid. How are you getting on with your new Mac? Hope you are well. Tamsin Quote Link to comment
